The Powerball numbers for the estimated $1 billion jackpot were drawn Monday night, but there’s still no winner. Monday night’s winning numbers were: white balls 13, 19, 36, 39, 59 and red power ball 13. The advertised prize is for winners who receive their winnings through an annuity paid over 29 years. But winners usually take the cash option, which would be about $497.3 million for Monday’s drawing. Powerball reaching $1 billion for Monday’s drawing was just the second time in the lottery’s 30-year history that it reached that level. The highest jackpot was won in 2016 with a jackpot of $1.586 billion. The $1 billion jackpot would be the fifth largest jackpot in US lottery history. POWERBALL JACKPOT RAISES TO $1 BILLION.
